I don't think I'm that old, but I always had a fascination on all things Apollo, especially Apollo 11. I remember at primary school there was this magazine which was written specifically about the Apollo 11 missions and I always wanted a copy of it - I must have borrowed it a zillion times.
I was also fortunate around 8-10yrs old that my family had close friends in Coonabarabran running a farm and visiting Siding Springs on a few occasions. It didn't mean much back then, but neverless unique.
Then I had a crappy refractor when I was a teenager and like some, the hobby went away to other chase other persuits, but only to come back.
